Getz, Faye Marie, "The Faculty of Medicine before 1500", dins: Aston, T. H. (ed.), The History of the University of Oxford, Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1992, vol. 2 (Late Medieval Oxford, ed. J. I. Catto i Ralph Evans), pp. 373-405.

Resum

This chapter explains that the Oxford faculty of medicine prepared a student not in the craft of empirical medical practice, but in the techniques of learned discourse that would allow him to teach. In addition, it discusses the faculty's early failures. It also talks about the requirements for advancement in the realm of university teaching and the certification of medical practitioners in the town of Oxford. It discusses that Oxford physicians, despite the faculty's early failures, were able to earn livings — and good ones at that — from those who respected physic enough to act as patrons.
